Crazy theories about games?

[alrekr]

I don't know about a crazy theory, but my suspicion is that Warhammer Fantasy takes place concurrently with Warhammer 40k.

The basic premise is simply that Orks occupy most corners of the galaxy for reasons that 40k never really chooses to explore. It simply seems that, if a planet doesn't have orks, some means will arrive that will allow them to travel to said planet. Furthermore, the Eldar of 40k are, for all intents and purpose, just Space Elves (unless they're dark Eldar in which case they are simply really Evil Space Elves) and they once controlled much of the galaxy until the fall (and the opening of the eye of terror along with the birth of Slaanesh). Given the enormous length of time between the fall and the current 40k setting, it seems reasonable that there was some isolated world of their empire that simply was not annihilated during the fall proper, largely thanks to competing powers. Supposing the webway access to said world collapsed for some reason (it doesn't really matter what that reason is), survival Eldar would be without the extremely advanced technology of their race and it seems reasonable that they would be forced to step back in technology simply to survive. The presence of humans is easy enough to explain: thanks to widespread colonization of the galaxy more than 10,000 years before the 40k timeline, people ended up on most planets that could support human life. During the crusade that resulted in the Imperium of Man and the Heresy, most of these planets were placed under the heel of the Immortal Emperor but, even according to the 40k fluff, the level of technological sophistication varies immensely and some are even described as "feudal". As for dwarves, that could simply be an example of mutation of humans or they might even be the native residents of the planet while Humans, Eldar and Orks are aliens. A notable problem here is that if said planet is a known part of the Imperium, it is only a matter of time before a crusade is launched that would exterminate at least the elves, probably the dwarves and, quite likely, most of the humans for collaborating with the same, and that's assuming Exterminatus was not enacted given the heavy Chaos presence on the world.

While the official

There used to be "space dwarfs" in 40K I think they were called squats. Also I think there is some some 40k novel that suggest that the Gods in Warhammar fantasy such as Sigmar was a space marine and the Orges maw thing they worship is something to do with tyranids. The novel never really said as to whether the marines got there through time travel or just found the planet; as they are said to have go into the eye of terror


*edit* this theory probably shouldn't be here as was once cannon and still is possible cannon as GW haven't denied anytihng yet.

Im talking about wild speculation, from the somwhat plausible to the rediculous, there was a similar thread I think a while ago..anyway

1. the Prothean beacon actually completley fried Shepards brain, now he/she is in an institution somwhere rambling about reapers...all the games are a dream (except the reapers ARE actually coming...)

2. Bioshock is actually set in the Pre-war fallout universe....

3.Chell is actually cave jhonsons daughter...why? I dont know

4. the Courier is the lone wanderer, well this could be true, its set up so you can role play him/her however you want, its quite possible,

all four protagonists of the fallout games were chosen by an unkown force to be super crazy talented heros in order to protect the wasteland...or they are all related in some what

OP, there is such a variety of games, and gamers, out there now that you shouldn't expect everyone who finds this thread to know what you're talking about. With the first point, at first I thought you were talking about Firefly/Serenity. I had no idea they made a game out of it. Do you get to wear the Jane hat?

oh well considering the demographic here, alot of us are bioware fans and therefore would know "shepard" and "prothiean beacon" and be able to put it together

same with Bioshock, fallout and Portal...especially Portal

In Assassin's Creed you are actually playing as the son of desmond and reliving his memories of him reliving his ancestor's memories.

i think thats what they are doing for three

 

[Riddle78]

In Final Fantasy VIII,everything up until the fight with Edea at the parade happened. When Squall gets nailed by the Ice Strike,everything afterward is a dying dream,and he's comatose either in the Belamb Garden Infirmary or in a gutter somewhere.

 

[Cheesus333]

Link is a monk on a long-term vow of silence, allowing himself only to play mouth-based musical instruments and occasionally scream at his foes.

The people in Big Daddy suits are actually upside-down.

Every time you save the game in Metroid at a save station, Samus is utterly incinerated within her suit and instantly resurrected phoenix-style.

Mario's hat is the source of his amazing powers, as we all know from Mario 64... but his moustache is actually the source of all happiness in the world.

Your TES: Oblivion character is actually a time traveller, and was in jail for killing the Emperor at the beginning of the game (that one hurts a little to think about).


Yup. I'm out.

Wesker didn't actually finally die, will return in Re6 to reveal that dying for a second time was all a part of his glorious plan to do... something.
Whatever they decide to retcon.
Not like him returning from the dead the first time made perfect sense.

Maybe what died was actually his clone made from Uroboros the same way Marcus was made from leeches in zero.

 

[Boom129]

Just go to TV tropes WMG, there's pages of this stuff
such as: The Courier is "Burned Man" Joshua Graham

Spoiler: Portal 2...

...is Episode 3.

I don't think it's true, most of that is because initially 40K was basically Fantasy in space, but they keep moving further away from it deliberately (like killing off Squats, who were basically space-dwarves). Plus 40K lore states that it's set in this universe, but I don't think fantasy is (although I'm not sure).

Mass Effect 2

Spoiler

Shepard is the first step in the Illusive man's attempts to create a Human form Reaper. Shepard technically isn't human anymore since he/she was rebuilt with a fusion of bio-synthetic chemicals. Reapers are composed of Organic and Inorganic materials.

No, because Cerberus didn't have the Reaper tech yet. The fist hybrid was Paul Grayson, one of the main protagonists of the Mass Effect books. The fusion happens in Retribution, which takes place right after ME2 and is a very worthwhile read.

 

[alrekr]

This is what i rekon will happen in Portal and Half Life

In Portal they make lots of references to Black Mesa and Glados talks about how the outside world is a bad place or something bad is happening up there.

So i rekon that Chell will Help Gorden Freeman stop the Combine or something

even though Ive avoided all reading ect about portal (except the comic..that was awsome) isnt portal 2 suposed to be set Hundreds of years after the first? (chell being in stasis that long) that would mean that the conflict in half life would be over (although gman could possibly put gordon and alex in stasis I guess)

if that were true it would make for some interesting references

anyway Im not sure it is

Portal 1 takes place during the seven minute war when the combine invaded earth (I think).
And as the Portal comics suggests both Ratman and Cell were placed into stasis. Hence why Portal 2 is set around hundred years after.

Though aperture science are referenced in Half-2 as they had that boat that the resistance are looking for.

 

[Fenra]

The world from dragon age is infact a planet in the mass effect universe, currently being monitored by the turians and asari, waiting for the right time to make first contact.

 

[almostgold]

Similar to how the Sword of Shannara series takes place on Earth, 1000's of years after nuclear war knocked civilization back to one, changed the landscape, created new races, and caused people to distrust 'new magic' (technology) in place of 'old magic'(magic), the Elder Scrolls World is the eventual conclusion of the Fallout world. Both owned by Bethesda and all...

 

[SoloStoffe]

Chell is actually Alyx's mother who's been in cryo for some time.

If this happens I'd be so pissed the first game isn't getting released on PS3

Don't forget Nazara. I'm willing to bet at least two fingers on Cerberus getting a few pieces from the ruins of the Citadel or on the black market.
